Hillary is a politician (completely soulless, with no conscience); she has problems responding only because her dirt is being exposed (she is a pre-internet politician, with no ability to deal with how quickly truth can be uncovered). She was groomed at a time when TV networks alone would guarantee her victory; the internet has replaced those networks for many voters as a source of news.
IMHO, the Clintons and the Democratic Party have helped change the meaning of ‘politician’ in the colloquial vocabulary of America. America now identifies a ‘politician’ as either a two-faced liar or an extreme adversarial.
